@StroomAfwaarts He still eats, but he's not terribly superb at grooming anymore, his fur is kinda matte nowadays. He still tries, he's just not great at it anymore.

He still follows me around, even though he's awfully in the way most of the time. He doesn't take the hint to go aside well anymore.

I'm chatting with my sister who lost her lovely cat a year ago to old age, asking her details about how she'd recognize the moment, what she's done, etc.

My biggest issue with my cat atm is that I can't do much. I can't even help him out with anything. I can only pet him and feed him. I can't check him up myself without ending up all bloodied. Possibly he's having too much pain to allow me to do much with him, but it also means I just cannot help him. Which sucks. Otherwise I could've helped him a little, cleaning him up for example. But now, it's just kinda waiting until the inevitable.

I'm possibly going to the vet tomorrow if I can get an appointment, and it's starting to look more likely that it'll be the last visit.

I mean, I know cats live shorter than us.. but it could end a bit less shitty (including literally), you know? Just very old and tired and just sleeping and that's it. Not suffering like mine does now and needing painstillers every evening.

I hate it that they end up suffering.
